100 Percent of Teacher Education Faculty Give to Power of 10 Scholarship Fund

Inspired by their own students and by the generous lead gifts made by alumni, staff and faculty in the School of Education, 100 percent of the School’s Teacher Education faculty have made a gift to the Power of 10 Scholarship Fund. In all, their gifts amount to more than $1,900.

In making her gift to the Power of 10 Scholarship Fund, Pauline Holmes, lecturer/supervisor for the English credential, said, “I’m giving to support new teachers who should know that those who work here believe it’s the best place to learn and teach. It’s a tough job and we appreciate the dedication of new teachers, so we try to provide financing to make it possible for all qualified candidates to participate and focus on their developing classroom skills.”

Rick Pomeroy, lecturer/supervisor for the science credential, said, “Preparing to become a teacher is a rigorous and time-consuming proposition in the UC Davis School of Education. The Power of 10 Scholarship provides the kind of support that our students need to allow them to concentrate on their journey to becoming teachers.”
